Warmer I cut sooner, colder wait longer. Pinch the meat and smell it, it will tell you when its ready. Osky About the same for me.Then I pull the hide off with the winch on my four wheeler. the wheels of the gods turn very slowly

Huh? Folks really ought to read a little about what aging does and how the enzymes break thing down....again, nothing to do with ligaments, silverskin and tendons...or marbling.

Aging breaks down the muscle tissue,,making the meat more tender.Nothing to do with tendons and silver skin. the wheels of the gods turn very slowly
